In Furzedown, where land was once owned by a lay impropriators, new owners of that property may be obliged to contribute towards the cost of maintenance of specific local church buildings.

Stamp duty is due on property sold for more than £125,000. Homeward Legal do not recommend any stamp duty reduction scheme. Such schemes are highly expensive and can be very unlikely to succeed.

The legal process can take anywhere between one month and 12 weeks contingent on various factors e.g. the speed of the vendor's conveyancing solicitor, or the number of people in the chain.
